Madame Destiny Megaways has a pretty standard Megaways layout. It features six reels with 2 - 7 symbols of varying sizes on reels 1 - 6, while reels 2 - 5 can hold up to 8 symbols as they have an extra reel above them. This reel spins independently from the others and moves from right to left.
You can play Madame Destiny Megaways on desktop and mobile. Whichever platform you prefer, here’s how to play:
Madame Destiny Megaways’ controls are at the bottom of the screen, with meters showing your remaining balance, winnings, and current bet.
Press the Spin button to play the game, or use the Autoplay button to open the Autoplay menu. You can set up 1,000 automated spins instead of playing manually.
If you want to change your bet from the $2 default, push the ‘-’ or ‘+’ buttons to adjust the current stake. Tap the ‘i’ icon to open the paytable and check out the cash prizes and bonuses.
Madame Destiny Megaways uses 12 symbols, including five thematic ones, five standard royals, a Wild, and a Scatter. I love the spooky designs for the cat, owl, and Madame Destiny symbols.
The lower-paying symbols are the 10, J, Q, and K. These pay up to 1x your bet. The A and tarot cards are worth up to 1.25x your stake, and the candles pay up to 1.50x your stake, and the candles pay up to 1.50x your stake. The potion is worth up to 2x your bet.
Land the cat or owl symbols to win up to 3.75x or 20x your stake. The Madame Destiny symbol is the Wild, and her crystal ball is the Scatter. I’ll explain how these work below.
You need to match three or more symbols on adjacent reels to win. Like any Megaways slot, Madame Destiny Megaways changes the number of ways to win on each spin. The maximum number is 200,704.
The range of bonuses in Madame Destiny Megaways won’t blow experienced players away — they’re not particularly original or fresh. But they still add more depth to the game and bring you extra chances to win.
1. Wild SymbolThe Madame Destiny Wild card substitutes for all other symbols except the Scatter. Wilds only land on reels 2 - 6, and they double the value of any winning combos they appear in.
2. Tumble FeatureAll symbols in a winning combo disappear, the rest tumble down the grid, and new symbols fill empty positions. If any of these movements create new symbol matches, you’ll win again on the same spin and trigger another Tumble. Wins can keep coming until no new winning combos appear.
3. Free SpinsIf you land 3, 4, 5, or 6 Scatters anywhere, you’ll win 5x, 10x, 20x, or 100x your bet, respectively. Three or more Scatters trigger the Free Spins feature, too.
A wheel of fortune spins at the start of the round to reveal how many free spins you’ve won and award a multiplier to enhance your wins. You can win 5, 8, 10, or 12 free spins with x2, x3, x5, x8, x10, x15, x20, or x25 multipliers. These multipliers apply to the overall win for each free spin.
You can retrigger the feature with three or more Scatters. The wheel of fortune spins again with each retrigger to reveal your free spins and multiplier. I was thrilled to find there’s no limit on how many times you can retrigger the round so that it can continue!
4. Ante BetUse the Ante Bet to add more Scatters to the reels and double your chances of triggering the Free Spins feature. However, this increases your bet by 25%.
5. Buy Free SpinsYou can instantly trigger the Free Spins feature if you pay 100x your bet, but only with the Ante Bet switched off.
The maximum win available is 5,000x your bet. For me, that seems pretty low for a Megaways slot. For instance, Rasputin Megaways offers more than 68,000x your bet, and Blood Suckers Megaways has a max win of over 20,000x.
Madame Destiny Megaways’ theoretical RTP is 96.56%, increasing to 96.67% with the Ante Bet and Buy Free Spins features. Both RTPs are well above the industry average.
The volatility is high, which is no surprise for a Megaways slot. When I played the game, I set my stake at $1 and won once every few spins on average. Payouts were generally low, though, and rarely went above $4. Fortunately, the Tumble feature helped push my wins a little higher sometimes.
I love the visuals and sound in Madame Destiny Megaways. It has an eerie, Halloween-y visual style, a spooky setting, and even spookier music. The action takes place deep in dark woods, where Madame Destiny tells customers’ fortunes, but the reels take up most of the screen.
The grid is housed in the back of Madame Destiny’s wooden carriage. It has curtains on either side and lanterns that flicker and sway in the night breeze.

If you want to try other Megaways slots, you’re spoilt for choice! Madame Destiny Megaways is just one of many on the market.
What else is there? One popular option is Break Da Bank Again Megaways, with up to 117,649 ways to win and a max payout of 24,185x your bet. It includes Rolling Reels, Wild Multipliers, and two Free Spins rounds.
There are also Joyful Joker Megaways. Play for prizes of up to 23,000x your bet with Rolling Reels, Free Spins, and Joker Spins (with increasing multipliers).
Finally, Irish Riches Megaways has a fixed max win of 10,000x your bet and a Jackpot King progressive jackpot that can be awarded randomly.
Madame Destiny Megaways impressed me with its rich atmosphere and graphics, but there’s more to it than that. The Tumble feature can lead to win after win on any spin, and it worked well for me a few times while playing (though my prizes were still small).
The Free Spins feature is designed well, with win multipliers of up to x25 and the potential for unlimited retriggers. The theoretical base RTP is reasonable at 96.56%, and increases with the optional Ante Bet and Buy Free Spins feature active.
Unfortunately, your bet's top win of 5,000 is smaller than you might expect if you’ve played other Megaways slots. This might not be for you if you prefer to spin for bigger wins. Otherwise, Madame Destiny Megaways is a solid slot that doesn’t bring anything new but still does what it does very well.
